1x1 Modern

Handily Coat Rack

DESCRIPTION

If you are an architecture buff, or have warm fondness for or great pride about the great city of Chicago, then this coat rack is your kind of coat rack. This coat rack is not an exact replica of the John Hancock Tower along the Magnificent Mile of Chicago, but it is very reminiscent of it, and anyone who is interested in or has an eye for architecture will immediately see the similarities.

Because a coat rack is a coat rack, there are no dimensional choices for the Handily coat rack. It is 40 cm (15.7 inches) wide by 40 cm (15.7 inches) deep at its base, with a height of 206 cm (81.1 inches), or over 6.7 feet tall including the metal spires on top.

But as with any 1x1 Modern furniture that is custom-made for you, you can choose the wood veneer or color lacquer finish for the coat rack. Because the Handily coat rack has the proportions of a Mission-style furniture, we thought we should finish it in Red Oak wood veneer as shown. But you can make you own choice for finish and color and then we will make and deliver for you your own custom-made Handily coat rack.

FINISHES

Handily coat rack is available in the following wood veneer and color lacquer finishes.

After you choose wood veneer or color lacquer, you will also be able to choose the level of glossiness for the protective polyurethane coating. We offer two levels of coating glossiness: Satin and Glossy

Satin coating on wood veneer

Satin coating on color lacquer

Glossy coating on wood veneer

Glossy coating on color lacquer

Satin coating is not very reflective (more like a dull, indistinct shine) on both wood veneer or color lacquer, and is generally a good choice for most household furniture and would complement well the other furniture you have.

Glossy coating is very reflective (like very shiny nail polish), and that is good for accent piece or special pieces that you might want to make stand out. Glossy coating on a big piece of furniture can look a little overwhelming, however.

FAQs

Is the Handily coat rack a replica of the John Hancock Tower in Chicago?

No. The Handily coat rack was inspired by the John Hancock Tower and we hope that when you look at this coat rack, it will evoke that Chicago landmark for you, but it is not a replica. The proportions are all wrong, for starters – our coat rack is much slender than the real thing. If the real tower had our coat rack's proportions, then it would be over 200 stories tall! Our coat rack is an artistic abstraction of the real thing, since it does not have any of the detailed features of the real thing. Ours is a sincere homage to the real John Hancock Tower's design.

Is the Handily coat rack custom-made, made-to-measure?

As with any 1x1 Modern furniture, the Handily coat rack is custom made to your specifications in terms of finish -- wood veneer or color lacquer finish, glossy or satin coating. However, we think a coat rack is a coat rack and there is no need for you to specify the size. The Handily coat rack is 40 cm (15.7 inches) width by 40 cm (15.7 inches) depth at its base, with a height of 206 cm (81.1 inches), or over 6.75 feet tall, including the metal spires on top. BUT, we are a custom furniture company. If you would like to make any changes, please contact us and just let us know.

How long does it take to make and deliver the Handily coat rack?

Generally, it takes about 5 to 7 weeks for us to make the Handily coat rack and have it delivered to you, although there might be circumstances where we might be able to have it done sooner or later. We will constantly keep you updated on its status throughout the process. If for any reason we cannot deliver it to you in 12 weeks or less, then we will offer you the option to cancel the order for a full refund.

Can the Handily coat rack be made a little differently one way or another?

Yes, of course. We are a custom furniture company. Please contact us and just let us know.
